From Cold Tile to Cozy Comfort in Cincinnati

The challenge for this spacious 156 sq. ft. master bathroom was its grand size, which often left the beautiful tile and marble flooring feeling cold and uninviting, especially during Ohio's cooler months. The builders at Michaelson Homes sought a solution to elevate the room's comfort to match its high-end finishes.

They selected the WarmlyYours TempZone™ Flex Roll system for its straightforward installation and reliable performance. The 240V roll was perfectly sized for the area, providing complete "Budget" coverage (warming the high-traffic areas) across the wood subfloor. Paired with a SmartStat™ programmable thermostat, the system offers precise temperature control, allowing the homeowners to schedule heating cycles for maximum efficiency.

The result is a master bathroom that is now a true oasis. The in-floor heating system provides luxurious, even warmth that radiates up from the floor, eliminating cold spots and making the space comfortable at any time of day. This radiant floor heating installation not only enhances daily comfort but also adds a significant touch of modern luxury to the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run radiant floor heating in a large Cincinnati bathroom?

For this 156 sq. ft. Cincinnati bathroom, the operating cost is approximately $0.36 per hour. Costs vary based on your local electricity rates, the system's wattage, and how many hours you run it, but it's often comparable to running a few high-wattage light bulbs.

2. What type of flooring works with TempZone™ heating system?

This project used Tile, Marble, or Stone, which are excellent conductors and feel luxuriously warm. TempZone™ systems are approved for use under laminate, engineered wood, and luxury vinyl as well.

3. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient?

Yes. Radiant floor heating warms people and objects directly from the ground up, rather than just heating the air (like forced-air systems). When paired with a programmable thermostat, you only heat the rooms you're using, when you're using them, which can lead to significant energy savings.

Can TempZone™ heating system be the only heat source for the bathroom?

In many cases, yes. A system providing 15 watts per square foot, like the TempZone™ Flex Roll used here, can often serve as the primary heat source for a well-insulated room, eliminating the need for bulky vents or radiators.
